I am going to have this baby any day now, and need help with girl middle names for baby #2! Big sister is [name]Brigid[/name] [name]Ceaira[/name] (nn [name]Bri[/name] and [name]Bea[/name]) and we don’t know the gender of this baby, but the boy’s names we have picked are [name]Killian[/name] [name]John[/name], [name]Cedric[/name] [name]John[/name], or [name]Ansel[/name] [name]John[/name]. Our last name is Bonner. We aren’t picking “the one” until we meet the little one, but I want to at least have a smaller list!
Our top picks for first names if this is a girl are:
[name]Camilla[/name]
[name]Celia[/name]
[name]Amelia[/name]
[name]Cate[/name]/[name]Kate[/name] (not sure which spelling)
[name]Carolyn[/name]/[name]Caroline[/name]
Other names we like but won’t use as a first name and could be mn choices:
[name]Abigail[/name]
[name]Adalie[/name]
[name]Adalyn[/name]
[name]Annabel[/name]
[name]Annalie[/name]
[name]Beatrice[/name] - I really like this name, but since we already have a B. Bonner (nn [name]Bea[/name]) we won’t use it for a first name
[name]Berlyn[/name]/[name]Berlin[/name]
[name]Charlotte[/name] - also really like this name, but it is [name]WAY[/name] too popular in my area for my tastes for a first name
[name]Clara[/name]
[name]Elizabeth[/name]
[name]Emmeline[/name]
[name]Hazel[/name]
[name]Jane[/name]/[name]Jayne[/name]
[name]Kinley[/name]
[name]Lucy[/name]
[name]Maeve[/name]
[name]Maire[/name]
[name]Mirabel[/name]
[name]Norah[/name]
[name]Rosalie[/name]
Middle name wouldn’t have to be from above list, I just was giving you all an idea of our style. We are open to new suggestions as well. I am at a complete loss as to what I like right now. Thanks for any help you can give us!
I have to say that [name]Brigid[/name] and little brother [name]Cedric[/name] would be darling! That’s my favorite of your boy names. As for girls, [name]Camilla[/name] really stands out to me from your list. I’m always a big fan of [name]Camilla[/name] and [name]Camille[/name]. For middle names, I’m liking [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Jane[/name], which sounds like a real classic. I also love [name]Norah[/name] from your list, but I can’t really see it pairing well with any of the first names you selected. I really like [name]Brigid[/name] and [name]Norah[/name] together as sisters but I see you wouldn’t consider using it as a first name. Too bad, it’s cute!
Thanks jackiet! I must admit my favorite boy name is [name]Cedric[/name] right now, but my husband likes [name]Killian[/name] and that one sometimes is first in my mind too. We’re going to wait till he/she is here to decide for sure!
[name]Camilla[/name] is also my favorite of the girls names. I really don’t know why, I just like it! [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Jane[/name] was the one that I had come up with as well (and the reason [name]Jane[/name] is even on the list), but I am definitely open to some more suggestions! We have not completely ruled out any of the other first name possibilities either, so let me know your ideas please!
The names on the possible mn list are names that have either been used already by close friends, are too popular for us, or either my husband or I have vetoed for some reason as a first name, but would be open to using as a middle. They were mostly names we had on our original list for a first name, and I’m having a hard time making many of them work as middle names with the top names we chose.
Please, more suggestions would be appreciated! This little one is getting impatient in here and could be born any day.
Thanks arabianlights for the additional suggestions! They are helping a lot. I do like the middle name [name]Mae[/name], but unfortunately a relative just named her girl [name]Chloe[/name] [name]Mae[/name], so I’m trying to avoid the repetition. That is the same reason I don’t have [name]Grace[/name] on my list. But the other suggestions are great, thank you!
Keep 'em coming! And like I said, feel free to substitute names that I haven’t thought of.
[name]Camilla[/name] [name]Hazel[/name] and [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Jane[/name] jumped out at me too. I also think [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Annalie[/name] is cute but could be a bit of a mouthful!
[name]Killian[/name] is an awesome name
I really like [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Cate[/name] Bonner, [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Kate[/name] Bonner, or [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Caroline[/name] Bonner. Good luck!
Thank you lauren-kay and peachie for the help! And I hadn’t thought of [name]Amelia[/name] [name]Cate[/name] - very cute!
[name]Do[/name] you all think [name]Camilla[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] would be too much? ([name]Camilla[/name] [name]Beatrice[/name] Bonner - nn [name]Millie[/name] or [name]Millie[/name] [name]Bea[/name])?
I really appreciate any and all suggestions. I’m hurrying to get all this last minute stuff done and this is one thing I am DEFINITELY not an expert on, so it helps to some outside input - especially when you all do such a great job.
Thanks for all the great help we’ve gotten so far! Any last suggestions or ideas from anyone that we could take to the hospital? What are your favorites from the list? Its looking like this baby will be born early next week!
So far our favorites are (to go with big sister [name]Brigid[/name] [name]Ceaira[/name] and possible boy [name]Cedric[/name] [name]John[/name] or [name]Killian[/name] [name]John[/name]):
[name]Amelia[/name] [name]Cate[/name] is beautiful. My name is [name]Brigid[/name], and I think [name]Amelia[/name] pairs with it wonderfully. Good luck! By the way, [name]Maeve[/name] is one of my favorites . . . So soft, pretty, and Irish!
